Farewell Ceremony for Class 12
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” — Robert Frost
On 23 rd of January, 2026, a farewell program for the outgoing Class 12 batch was organized. The event honored the students’ contributions to the school while ensuring a formal transition of leadership. The proceedings commenced on the school grounds with a Special Assembly. The atmosphere was one of solemnity and grace. In an inspiring speech, the Principal, Fr. Titus, drew inspiration from Robert Frost’s iconic poem, The Road Not Taken. He urged the graduates to be courageous in their future endeavors, and to not be afraid to choose the road less traveled. Then the outgoing head boy, assistant head boy and assistant head girl officially handed over their badges and responsibilities to the newly elected leaders. This symbolized the continuity of the school’s traditions and values. Representing the Class of 2026, the Head Boy, Mr. Aditya Vaz, shared a touching reflection: “We’ve grown from shy smiles to confident strides. St Vincent’s has taught us that bada naam starts with your character.”
Following the ceremony, the Class 12 students participated in their final ‘Marching Out Parade’. Led by the class teachers, the graduates marched past the faculty and juniors. The event then moved to the Gulati Hall for a program hosted by the Class 11 students. The session included spot prizes to ease the emotional weight of the day, allowing students to bond one last time. A curated montage of the students’ journey of two years was screened. This retrospective captured milestones, field trips, and candid classroom moments, serving as a poignant reminder of their growth.
The celebration culminated in a formal Farewell Lunch provided by the school administration. This provided a relaxed environment for students to interact with their teachers, exchange autographs, and take photographs.
The event concluded successfully, leaving the Class of 2026 with a sense of closure and the best wishes of the entire school community as they prepare for their upcoming board examinations and future endeavors.
